First Lady: |
Blue, my lord. |
MAMILLIUS: |
Nay, that's a mock: I have seen a lady's nose |
That has been blue, but not her eyebrows. |
First Lady: |
Hark ye; |
The queen your mother rounds apace: we shall |
Present our services to a fine new prince |
One of these days; and then you'ld wanton with us, |
If we would have you. |
Second Lady: |
She is spread of late |
Into a goodly bulk: good time encounter her! |
HERMIONE: |
What wisdom stirs amongst you? Come, sir, now |
I am for you again: pray you, sit by us, |
And tell 's a tale. |
MAMILLIUS: |
Merry or sad shall't be? |
HERMIONE: |
As merry as you will. |
MAMILLIUS: |
A sad tale's best for winter: I have one |
Of sprites and goblins. |
HERMIONE: |
Let's have that, good sir. |
Come on, sit down: come on, and do your best |
To fright me with your sprites; you're powerful at it. |
MAMILLIUS: |
There was a man-- |
HERMIONE: |
Nay, come, sit down; then on. |
MAMILLIUS: |
Dwelt by a churchyard: I will tell it softly; |
Yond crickets shall not hear it. |
HERMIONE: |
Come on, then, |
And give't me in mine ear. |
LEONTES: |
Was he met there? his train? Camillo with him? |
First Lord: |
Behind the tuft of pines I met them; never |
Saw I men scour so on their way: I eyed them |
Even to their ships. |
LEONTES: |
How blest am I |
In my just censure, in my true opinion! |
Alack, for lesser knowledge! how accursed |
In being so blest! There may be in the cup |
A spider steep'd, and one may drink, depart, |
And yet partake no venom, for his knowledge |
Is not infected: but if one present |
The abhorr'd ingredient to his eye, make known |
How he hath drunk, he cracks his gorge, his sides, |
With violent hefts. I have drunk, |
and seen the spider. |
Camillo was his help in this, his pander: |
There is a plot against my life, my crown; |
All's true that is mistrusted: that false villain |
Whom I employ'd was pre-employ'd by him: |
He has discover'd my design, and I |
Remain a pinch'd thing; yea, a very trick |
For them to play at will. How came the posterns |
So easily open? |
First Lord: |
By his great authority; |
Which often hath no less prevail'd than so |
On your command. |
LEONTES: |
I know't too well. |
Give me the boy: I am glad you did not nurse him: |
Though he does bear some signs of me, yet you |
Have too much blood in him. |
HERMIONE: |
What is this? sport? |
LEONTES: |
Bear the boy hence; he shall not come about her; |
Away with him! and let her sport herself |
With that she's big with; for 'tis Polixenes |
Has made thee swell thus. |
